Where do I park?

When you drive in the entrance on Minnesota Ave, you can park in the first spaces you see, or you may continue straight and turn right around the back of the building to find additional guest parking.

What should I wear?

Come as you are. Wear whatever you feel comfortable in. On any given Sunday you'll find everything from suits to shorts, but generally most people wear something in between.

What about my kids?

Do they stay with me or go somewhere else? If you'd like to have them in the service with you, you may. However, during each of our 9:30 Sunday services, kids up to 5th grade have the chance to play fun games, make new friends, and hear exciting stories and lessons that are applicable to their life in a fun, creative, age-appropriate environment at LIFE Time. Children 2 months to Pre-K are in their program for the entire service, while kids K-5th participate with the adults for the music part of the service and are dismissed with their group leaders to their program just before the message.

You want my money, right?

NO! The collection, or "Offering" as we call it, that we receive at our Sunday service is for the WGBC family--those who call WGBC "my church." It is an opportunity for them to give a part of what God has given them back to Him. Please do not feel obligated to contribute.

What do you believe?

We believe that God loves the people of this world so much that he sent Jesus to earth to live life as a man and to die to take our place in spiritual death.
